Boozer's €3.90 stout a big hit

A RURAL boozer selling pints of Guinness for €3.90 yesterday declared: "We have to look after our locals." The Irish Mirror is continuing its search for the country's cheapest pint of plain after brewer Diageo hiked prices last week.

Galway boozer Johny O'Loghlens, located in Connemara, will keep the price of the black stuff to just €3.90 which is believed to be Ireland's least-expensive draught.

Colm Redmond, who runs the watering hole, explained: "Johny O'Loghlens is a small country pub, it's very much a community bar and a local trade and that's one of the reasons - we have to look after our locals." He said he upped the price of Harp to €4.20 and admitted other beers will follow suit but vowed to keep the price of Guinness at under €4 for now.
